I appreciate the thoughtfulness though!

I realize it is a fun raiser, but I would sell the material to someone else at a better price, and donate the proceeds to your sisters ice skating.

Not saying they are not reputable, but their prices are ridiculous.

When I found out that was all they were going to pay the team it inspired me to start learning about all this - I knew that the computer components had to be worth more than that, at bear minimum and through one of my initial searches I stumbled across this place. I am very happy that I did too! Everyone has been super helpful and willing to offer up anything in order to assist me in achieving my goal. As soon as I posted this thread that confirmed that we were in the process of being fleeced I got permission from my supervisor and took almost everything out of the towers we collected and here we are! I am very fortunate to have found this forum and sincerely appreciate everything that you all have done. The actual collection event is happening tomorrow morning and I'm going to make an appearance to see how the whole thing plays out.
